WB Games Montreal Finally Reveals Gotham Knights

During today's DC FanDome event, WB Games Montreal finally revealed and showed off more of Gotham Knights. The game picks up right where the last Batman: Arkham Knight left off with Batman gone and the family left behind having to pick up the pieces and defend Gotham in his absence. The four members being Nightwing, Batgirl, Robin, and Red Hood. The game features an open-world environment again as you explore a slightly rebuilt Gotham following the events of the last game, but now with the rogue's gallery back out in the world causing havoc. This will be an original story set within the Arkham universe and will feature many returning characters as well as introducing the Court Of Owls. All four characters will be customizable as the game progresses and you gain new gear, just like you did in the previous games. The best new feature, hands down, is the co-op mode, where two of you can take on a situation as a team and clear out heavy enemy rooms faster. The game is set to be released sometime in 2021 for PC, PS4, Ps5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. No word on exclusives to PC or if it will be coming out on Switch.
